Excerpts

Marginal significance was shown at earlier time point, i.e.

The results also showed a trend that the test-retest reliability increased as the set size became larger.

Moreover, an interesting trend was observed – the higher the number of specific types of antimicrobial molecules found adhered to the HA surface (Table 1 , molecules distinguished with an asterisk), the higher the biofilm eradication ratio was observed (please refer to Anti-biofilm activity analysis of BC dressings against biofilmic forms of pathogens in an environment simulating bone conditions section).

1d ), while patients with poorly differentiated tumours (G3) showed a trend towards higher BSP level compared to patients with moderately differentiated tumours (G2, Supplementary Fig. 1e ).

As expected, the CF embryos were more susceptible to PAO1 infection as they exhibited a highly significant increased lethality in comparison to WT (83 ± 9% vs 66 ± 6%, respectively) at 20 hpi (Fig. 3a ).

Although non- significant, there was an increasing trend in the miR-155 fold expression from negative samples to HSIL, with the highest fold expression increase in both LSIL and HSIL compared to the other miRNAs. pmc-status-qastatus 0 pmc-status-live yes pmc-status-embargo no pmc-status-released yes pmc-prop-open-access yes pmc-prop-olf no pmc-prop-manus

Interestingly, the less proliferative populations showed a trend towards increased relative viability when treated with DOXO, although this difference was not statistically significant (Fig. 4B ).

Recombination rates showed a clear trend, with the highest rates towards the end of chromosomes and rates near zero around the centromere region.

This study presents a rare example of empirical evidence of a positive trend in reproduction and survival for a cetacean population using a Marine Protected Area. status released display-pdf yes is-olf no is-manuscript no is-preprint no is-journal-matter no is-scanned no is-retracted no Received 2018 Oct 5; Accepted 2018 Dec 21; Collection date 2019.

Thus, if the time series exhibits a significant trend over a long time, as we might expect for the postseismic deformation, the filtering might introduce spurious effects.

Expression of OCT4 in hFFs showed a trend similar to that observed analysing NANOG expression (Fig. 5C ).

D-lactate, L-lactate and lactic acid levels did not differ significantly between the groups (p = 0.0703, p = 0.2711 and p = 0.0690, respectively), although the sample size was small and the differences in D-lactate and lactic acid concentrations approached significance.

Many non-Cartesian trajectories can also improve parallel imaging without NLGs or additional hardware, yet the presented work is highly significant for several reasons.

In contrast, the abundance of GN has shown an increasing trend in the range of 22.1–34.3% along the vegetation succession was obtained for the abundances of GN at two soil depths.

Not only was our result marginally significant, but we did not observe difference between groups in anticipatory pleasure when we analyzed the results of the TEPS, a questionnaire developed to address anticipatory and consummatory pleasure in schizophrenia 45 .

This threshold is very close to the difference of 13.3 points reported here, that could be considered significant and clinically relevant.

In any case, there is a clear trend: antler is not as stiff as terrestrial mammal and bird bone, but it is harder to break.

The total optical-absorption coefficient also shows an increasing trend due to the large increase of α (1) .

Results show a very small and marginally significant effect of two interaction terms (positive * negative * psychopathy and positive * psychopathy).

There were highly significant differences between NOL-1 and NOL-4 among SFH, TSH, CSF and TCS in japonica with -log( P ) values of 2.35, 3.15, 3.36 and 5.34, respectively (Fig. 3c ).

We re-analyzed the data of ALDH2-alcohol interaction effect on esophageal cancer to reinterpret marginally significant ALDH2 and alcohol consumption on the basis of their synergistic effects (Fig. 4 ).

There was a highly significant interaction between seasonal and diel cycles at two sites around deep channels, where occurrence was diurnal in summer but became nocturnal in autumn.

As the system moves towards the bifurcation, both the spatial variance and the spatial correlation increase, while the spatial skewness does not have an obvious trend.

Over the past century, there was a significant trend of increasing temperature of about 1 °C, most pronounced in the decades after 1990, whereas annual precipitation and drought indices fluctuated without significant long term trends (Supplementary Fig.

RT-qPCR analysis of pstS gene transcription showed a trend similar to the relative abundance (R 2 , 0.25), as copy numbers were lower in early June and higher in mid-June (Fig.
